12:03 am
also said that his house was under attack he said that is his neighbors helped to attack the opposition leader in bolivia has said the same thing actually this house has come under attack and the rector of the biggest public university said that is his house was burnt so that seems to be happening across on both sides of the the divide in the country president morales as well said listen my only crime is to be indigenous my only crime is to try and help those who are poor in the country i think that's something that few would deny that in these nearly 14 years in charge of that country you almost have the extreme poverty he was the country's 1st indigenous president and that did a lot for indigenous groups in the country he had a lot of social housing programs that we saw last time that we were in the country before the elections there were a lot of poor people a lot of people coming from poor backgrounds who are very grateful to president rallies and what he done he managed to do it while also having stability and
12:04 am
economic stability the downside was that over time he seemed to be increasingly authoritarian or authoritarian is that together with the serious irregularities that the organization of american states said happened in the election what seemed to push a lot of people against him in the country you mentioned the organization in states there what are they saying about his resignation. well they're in a meeting actually an ongoing meeting that's been called over bolivia believe it was actually called by brazil and our colleague rose jordan has been keeping an eye on that for us in washington and various people are coming out to speak brazil has spoken saying that there needs to be law and order and that there should be fresh elections some of the caribbean islands in particular. has come out
12:05 am
saying that the country's on the military rule at the moment that it isn't under civilian rule and that's obviously a bad thing some of those caribbean islands quite strongly allied to the bloc of countries that bolivia was part of the united states also has come out and has said that it's pleased that the organization of states is. american states is considering the matter and saluting the courage and strength of the bolivian people as they protested the election so a very different line from the united states sort of celebrating the fact most. the president morales is gone from mexico the country that is just south of the border resourcefully offering him asylum and who is calling this and the country is calling this a military coup that's something actually that the foreign minister marcello abroad was asked this morning he said how is this going to affect mexico's all important relationship with the united states about 80 percent of mexicans exports go to the
12:06 am
united states and he said well we've got a good relationship with the united states is based on respect and not submission we're going to have different ideological ideas and that's ok both countries will be able to do that we will see how that develops would also see how that meeting of the organization of american states develops what they decide if anything at the end of it to homer thank you very much indeed when i ran a sanchez in the bolivian capital lap as the situation. right now what's happening and i said. well laurin the situation is moving very fast hearing believe yeah and the most important thing that is happening or about to happen will happen here behind me in the building that is the national assembly legislators are there and they're about to begin a session in about 30 minutes from now to swear in a new interim president we've been saying throughout the day that's there needs to
12:07 am
be a quorum of 50 percent of lawyer of. legislators plus one but according to some constitutional lawyers and according to the members of parliament who are there there is an article of the constitution article $169.00 and also a constitutional sentence that says that even if there is no quorum the constitution finds that there has to be a precedent in bolivia and it's already been 40 hours 8 hours without a precedent so they are about to start a session in about 30 minutes from now you'll swear in the new interim president we will have to see if that indeed happens but that's what we are hearing even if no members of the mosque party it will more or less this party are here they haven't come because we understand there is a division in the out in the ranks of those they have must party were the
12:08 am
hardliners have been saying that all the legislators and that's 2 thirds of the houses have to resign another another side another arm of the mouse party saying that they want to come but they don't have guarantees and they don't feel they feel so the fret and because of members of their party but they don't want to come here so whoever comes here the constitution is saying that they have the bully house. so how if a precedent and that's what it's what we think it's about to happen here and what about the protests earlier you were reporting that they were on their way to the presidential palace or has that happened what's going on with her. that's right laura and this area where the presidential palace and the national assembly is completely sealed by by riot police there's another ring of protection
12:09 am
by the army we have seen that assist few thousands of those protesters that come from the city a stronghold a bastion of supporters for it will not alice have come here they were very violent in the last few days but what we've been able to see is many people here who have come they are calm they are not clashing with the police there are some explosions be in. it been heard it's the use of dynamite that traditionally is used in the and this is a common thing we haven't seen clashes we haven't seen any police throwing tear gas when there are water trucks positioned but what we've heard is some members of some representative of these protests of these protests are saying that they want to come and want to be able to read a letter here at the national assembly saying that they did not agree that
12:10 am
senator yeah i mean there i knew this is should be sworn in as the new interim president they don't want that they don't give an alternative and the other thing very important for this group of supporters of evermore alice is that they want to come here and pay tribute to the to the indigenous flag which is the first 2 $1.00 behind me because it was a burnt out by opposition protesters in the past few days and they feel that that is very important for them. so that's the tone of the protest right now we don't know if that will change in the next few hours lauren my associates thank you very much. tirzah post more from and out to where primrose fortress has been running. right here in the district 8 of a little bit of a stronghold of abel more dallas we're here because there's 2 all kinds of people that have gathered here to show their support to the president who they say to be
12:11 am
the only man that has brought dignity to bolivia indigenous community they're saying they're defending the move this is the flag that represents indigenous communities in the country who've been talking to some people here who are afraid that racism could be back in this country they say that able borderless change to bolivia and that's why they're demanding its release let me show you the amount of people that have come here to show you support for what al is this is just one road block on these highway and we're told there are many many of these people are you. told. that they're also saying that this will not go unpunished they know it all you want to know what aisle is that they also want to head this is what they're saying the head of mesa that's a presidential candidate a position presidential candidate and also come out to who's the leader of the sea the q. union of something. people say is

in this building in gaza israeli air strike was long in the planning its repercussions just starting to play out. lead palestinian islamic jihad's northern military operation a very senior figure and one israel blamed for a series of rocket attacks in recent months. that. these actions have started this morning after the crime was committed by israel markets were fired towards televisions and islamic jihad with all of the resistance groups will continue targeting all safe places of the occupation. islamic jihad said israel had crossed all red lines and promised a bigger response than usual one rocket exploded on a busy highway near gaza and the images for those in passing cars and for those in a bus waiting at the intersection. in the southern town of stare at a factory suffered a direct hit and rockets also targeted central israel restricting businesses and leading to blanket school closures from the gaza border areas to television

israel's prime minister who's leading a 2nd straight caretaker government after a 2nd inconclusive election said his country was not seeking an escalation and he was careful to indicate politics hadn't entered into the decision to strike one he said was recommended by the military and the internal security agency the measure of the female the final decision was unanimously agreed on in the cabinet 10 days ago and the cabinet gave me authority to implemented at a time that would be suggested by the i.d.f. and should back the i.d.f. in the shabak indeed recognize a time to recognize the window of opportunity to carry out the operation under the best conditions with the maximum chance of success and minimum impact on bystanders . there was no israeli comment though on another major strike overnight this one in damascus targeting islamic jihad's 2nd ranking leader. yuri syria's state news agency said his. son and granddaughter were killed islamic jihad says a jury survived mahler's has relented and. the size of the explosion is
12:15 am
unacceptable and that i think that many of his execution was so huge and it is unacceptable to hit the civilian area in such way as you know throughout the day the rocket fire and strikes continued israel's military said it was targeting islamic jihad perhaps a message that it wasn't seeking a direct confrontation with hamas which controls the gaza strip and whose military wing represents gaza's biggest fighting force in a statement on tuesday benjamin netanyahu said that israel did not seek a wider escalation yet he must have known that with a targeted assassination such as this and the inevitable rocket fire that would come in response the risks were very high much now depends on how hamas decides to respond it has spoken out very strongly in solidarity with islamic jihad if it matches those words with a big escalation in rocket fire as well and the risks of a wider conflict only rise are a force that al-jazeera southern israel. after their senior political analyst now
12:16 am
in bashara says prime minister benjamin netanyahu is using the conflict to divert attention from his own political problems. most israelis who know him and know what's going on in his are understand that there's a personal stake in all of this because as again everyone knows he's facing major corruption charges 3 of them he's facing eminent indictment and potentially he's going to go to prison unless he stays prime minister hen hence he has a fundamental reason to deflect attention from his own corruption and court cases and sold so forth and then interest into forming a coalition government that he failed the last time around the time before that and that his best way forward for a national coalition government is to bring back his old friends i think believe him and was even more to the white of prime minister netanyahu and he probably of
12:17 am
reckons a major escalation in gaza an assassination of this kind will probably bring him back in he already brought even a more extremists right wing politician enough that he bennett and i assigned him minister of defense in israel so you can imagine you have this real march towards the right wing in israel and this sort of this collision house and then there is the strategic issue of there's a ticking bomb in gaza and damascus and everywhere so israel has to always preempt by carrying assassinations. coming up on this news from london hoping to keep the dream alive but america's highest court looks set to side with trump and kill the program which protects immigrants and his dream is being deported. and afghanistan's president wants to secure the release of these 2 university professors and he's released 3 senior figures from the taliban to try to make it happen. in sport how china is changing its foreign policy in

12:23 am
a film looking at projects which help combat climate change thanks for coming in before we come on to some of those issues in your family is that it must be pretty terrifying to think these pictures. and they feel a long way from home right now so a lot of our friends are being evacuated where i live and a lot of people are very frustrated in my country we've sort of would be more this might happen we had 24 former fire chiefs wrote to our government and i pull warning that this might happen again in september and i ignored it in fact i've actually slashed all of the funding for the firefighters and here we are in this predicament so it's it's very very concerning what i'm some of this is a kind of reluctance at a political level in australia to not the question about climate change and it's not just wouldn't necessarily link one set of files to climate change but in general there seems to be no appetite for discussing it here but these farzana want to vent we've had one president as far as for the last 5 years they've been building the problem is that we make so much from money exporting call to china it's a big industry this so our policy is really hamstrung by that and that's what it's
12:24 am
really frustrating for people so we've been told a lot of our residents now i'm going to talk about climate change it makes mention it and it's really frustrating you know so i mean one of the deputy prime minister said on twitter. when he's good people he dismissing climate change as the concerns of raving in a city lefties who ignoring the needs of our australians is the political establishment out of touch with what ordinary people think was it's what's the kind of balance it's a narrative issue i think that we have a newspaper that's heavily controlled by vested interest in that industry so people are getting the full spectrum of the stories and that's a problem around the world i think but particularly in our country a table if i've had to that particular media outlet and it's causing a lot of problems what about you've talked in your documentary about silly solutions and his visions of climate change well there any of the solutions he came up with that would help in australia yeah i mean we're particularly vulnerable there i mean really given how much you think of a strike you think of sunshine we should be exporting solar. to the rest of the world we have so much wind and solar and that's what i guess is frustrating for
12:25 am
people that we still rely on call but you know i've spent the last 4 years putting together this film looking at what the best solutions are around the world and really it came as a response for the being overwhelmed father and how do i communicate this issue to my daughter and i spoke to an environmental psychologist really early and she said that when we only hear information that comes with fear and overwhelm which the mainstream narrative is right now it activates a part of our brian called the limbic system and when that fact about it shuts down the parts of our brian that we think creatively only problem solved so there's a wide scale paralysis going on for a lot of people so it's not going to ring the alarm bell that's important but we also need to show people where the exits are and you think that the moment. of what's happening in australia will act as a kind of wake up call for people and certainly i think this one is different we've had some major flaws recently but this is just i'm it's the 1st time we've ever declared a catastrophic emergency and a couple of days ago was the 1st time in recorded history that our continent had not one drop of rain for a day so i think people are starting to realise that night just telling us that we
12:26 am
need to do something and that's why this frustration is a. demagogue thank you very much indeed which is not pleasure for afghanistan's government has released 3 senior taliban figures in an effort to trigger a prisoner swap in return president ashraf ghani hopes to secure the release of 2 university professors american kevin king and australian timothy weeks the taliban prisoners include me is the older brother of the deputy head of the group and he says the decision was very hard but he felt it was in the interest of the afghan people national security analyst habeeb or doc says ashraf ghani his decision could encourage the different sides to talk. what really hold forth is that this would it be we've is a glad pods for an intra african dialogue where the african government the africans are large and the taliban could sit now i don't dictate but it and sort of talk about if you chip piece what i want to stand there and occasions that we might have
12:27 am
these into african dialogue happen in china. lots more to come on this hour iraq a say they've watched their country crumble for decades so why are they expressing their anger now. spain's 2 main leftwing conti's make a significant move towards ending the nation's political deadlock. and in support of lying and star right here standing has been dropped in the national side. hello good or welcome back we're here across parts of the central mediterranean we are looking at a storm system that is moving very slowly but it is getting stronger across the region a lot of clouds across this area and the biggest problem with the storm is going to be the very strong winds we're going to be seeing across parts of the adriatic so also heavy rain is going to cause some localized flooding into the region power
12:28 am
lines structural damage could be an issue with this storm as we go into wednesday now as we go towards thursday the storm system moves slowly over here towards the east for rome though it is still going to be rainy few there 14 degrees is expected high to the north though we do look at some cool conditions there for berlin with a temperature of 6 and rome the rain is going to continue wednesday thursday as well as friday 16 degrees expected high that is about normal for this time of year where we are going to see some active weather along the coast of africa as well with that same storm system but a lot of heavy rain towards parts of algeria as well as tunisia now we're going to be seeing the coastal areas of libya some clouds as well as some rain windy conditions could be a problem as well for cairo though we are looking at a nice day if you maybe some clouds pushing through at 32 degrees there on wednesday a little bit better by the time we get towards thursday but for algiers it is going to be a windy day with attempt a few of 21 degrees. story
12:29 am
1400 years in the make. a story of succession and the leadership. jersey that codes the story of dispute and division of the hall. the caliph episode to. jersey. mass protests forcing the government's hand but are we seeing the but try to answer the trying to understand this we follow journalists on the frontline this is christina priem press committed to reporting the facts as police officers of pointing guns at journalists they say stop go home come fact and fiction truth is
12:30 am
it anyway on al-jazeera. logan or one of the top stories here on jazeera bolivia's ousted president ever has arrived in mexico where he's been given asylum after stepping down and fleeing his country in the face of mounting on the rest of the touching down in fact mexico's leaders are saving his life. on call is on the brink of a total breakdown according to a senior police officer to gas has again been fired at pro-democracy activists the students at a university through petrol bombs at police. and the top commander of. astin you know great and his wife had been killed in israeli airstrike in gaza almost 200
12:31 am
rockets were fired back into israel wanting further israeli airstrikes particularly now that 8 people. in the combat we satirize associate professor of political science at university in gaza he joins us live by skype from gaza city and thanks for being with us can you tell us 1st what it's like there this evening well it's been a very tense situation throughout the day he had in the gaza strip on this evening go on since the hours of this morning is when a snake in the top military commander of the islamic jihad and as a result of that he's going to. have more than 200 rockets over on his way to towns and villages just on to the gaza strip on some of those rockets in the middle of. tel aviv area so far around 10 palestinians have been killed including i would autonomy his wife the military commander of the islamic jihad.
12:32 am
and then addition to that all efforts by egypt are you on special coordinator for the middle east peace process nikolai mlodinow has failed to quintin the cycle of violence between israel and the palestinian group. yet i mean how would you describe the influence of this command. because israel has described him as a ticking bomb who is responsible for most of the past in islamic jihad's activity in the gaza strip how would you rate his influence. well i think as one has over estimated that his influence or his power when they compared him to call some silly money. could say brigades and the and on the evolutionary guards to the head of hezbollah in lebanon he is responsible for the and that in command of the military will go this going to get out in the gulf but this will accuse him of
12:33 am
being responsible for the launching of multiple rockets against as women especially those that which we have fired from girls are going to says what about in the days ago and. blame him that he is connected to outside personalities mainly to iran or hezbollah and that's why they consider him a ticking bomb here in the gaza strip and what about how much i mean clearly they have a decision to make as to whether to not to support jihad and in their response or whether to to stay calm and try and restore calm what do you think hamas is going to. well hamas has condemned this as sunny assess the nation by these wave the air force this morning and they have indicated that it's the right of the palestinian islamic jihad to cali it again is this is why you have a nation but until this woman thomas has a friend from launching any rockets against israel but then the meantime we only
12:34 am
are waiting to see how things are going to develop until to morrow or if this cycle of violence continues for a few more days it seems to me that hamas is not interested in going into another military provocation against israel last believe that the last thing that the palestinians in gaza of the 2000000 palestinians in gaza that needs is another is way too offensive against gaza in the midst of israeli lucky that gives the girls the but also i must believe that this escalation with israel to sit of the interest of prime minister benjamin netanyahu who is accused of corruption charges in israel has failed to form and he was way to government so that's why it seems to us that hamas isn't interested in to go in and love another cycle of violence with israel so it would but it must look like that this that if you had would be the only
12:35 am
palestinian faction who would be launching rockets for now on for for the coming few hours if egypt doesn't succeed in continuing this cycle of violence and store call between israel and the palestinians in gaza we can have a sound of thank you very much indeed he'll host and something it's my pleasure thank you. protesters in lebanon blocking roads with burning tires in beirut and other parts of the country this after the president urged them to go home michel aoun said to demonstrate his demands had been heard and warned of a catastrophe if they remained in the streets united nations urged lebanon to form a competent new government after prime minister saad hariri resigned or in weeks of protests the country has been rocked by demonstrations fueled by anger at edge corruption overdressed has been injured in baghdad after iraqi forces used tear gas and live rounds to disperse demonstrators protesters had gathered near

a bridge leading to the green zone which houses government buildings there were also confrontations into his square the main focus of the protests on 280 people have been killed since the protests erupted in baghdad last month. or much of the anger coming out of the protest stems from the poor conditions many iraqis have become used to for 16 years they say they've watched their public services and infrastructure crumble and their job prospects and quality of life deteriorate into the name reports baghdad. it's name chef ali harks back to a time when this was a place people of note once lived now some say this central baghdad neighborhood about 3 kilometers away from the prime minister's office seems to have disappeared when it comes to the government garbage is piling up on the street buildings are crumbling and the stench of waste can be overwhelming inside the home the family says they live with rain rats and sewage. but.

citizenship president trump immediately moved to close it down his lawyers said obama overstepped his powers to bring the act in bypassing a congress which couldn't agree on immigration reform but courts in california new york and washington d.c. say trump broken or on correct procedure in his efforts to kill a program which is want to end up in the supreme court or some of the so-called dreamers who've benefited from the act of gathered outside the supreme court and won almost $200.00 and documented medical students and residents. without. we can't complete residency training and without. the health and well being of the families that we care for also suffer that gave a program that forever changed my life in many different aspects i would be the opportunity to come out of the shadows finish college and become a homeowner i did your question has more from outside the court. the 9 justices of
12:41 am
